He exists and we have four people who identified him and I know who he is, where he is, what his phone number is, everything about him that one needs. All I need is a criminal trial so I can have him subpoenaed.<\/span>

\n Carl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

I think actually what I’m going to do when I’m done and take my next vacation, is I’m going to go over and start unions in Japan. I’m going to unionize Japan. Because the way they work those crews is so criminal. There’s no overtime, so they can just keep going.<\/span>

\n John J. Sirica<\/span><\/p>\n

In modern Russia, you have no official, formal assessment of this past. Nobody in any Russian document has said that the policy of the Soviet government was criminal, that it was terrible. No one has ever said this.<\/span>
\n Ryszard Kapuscinski<\/span><\/p>\n

In my first year as governor, we solved some of the problems that had begun to undermine the Open Records Act. We gave the act teeth by providing criminal penalties for knowing violations.<\/span>

It was the king’s army, the king’s people, the king’s taxes; and he who questioned the propriety of the royal prerogative of taking from his people without return or accounting, was reckoned, and felt himself to be, a criminal, guilty of the highest crime of disloyalty.<\/span>
\n John Buchanan Robinson<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts, which was the way we did before 9\/11, and then looking at 9\/11 and saying, “This is not a criminal act,” not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan, kill 3,000 Americans, blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That’s an act of war.<\/span>
\n Dick Cheney<\/span><\/p>\n

\n Max Schmeling<\/span><\/p>\n

Make your educational laws strict and your criminal ones can be gentle; but if you leave youth its liberty you will have to dig dungeons for ages.<\/span>

\n Emma Goldman<\/span><\/p>\n

Most children turn out badly because they have the wrong parental image. This doesn’t mean their parents are criminal. It means they are boring and cruel.<\/span>

\n Blake Edwards<\/span><\/p>\n

Once brave politicians and others explain the war on drugs’ true cost, the American people will scream for a cease-fire. Bring the troops home, people will urge. Treat drugs as a health problem, not as a matter for the criminal justice system.<\/span>

The criminal is trying to solve his immediate problems.<\/span>
\n Naguib Mahfouz<\/span><\/p>\n

\n William Graham Sumner<\/span><\/p>\n

The judge is found guilty when a criminal is acquitted.<\/span>

\n Jack Kevorkian<\/span><\/p>\n

They allow us to disrespect our Black woman. A lot of these things would be considered criminal if it were to be carried out in the streets. That’s like when they tell you after you buy your VHS and you rent movies they tell you not to copy the movies.<\/span>
\n Afrika Bambaataa<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not to condone torture, which is still prohibited by the Torture Convention and federal criminal law.<\/span>

\n Dominic Chianese<\/span><\/p>\n

We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist activity but we do not – nor will we ever – monitor ideology or political beliefs.

\n Janet Napolitano<\/span><\/p>\n

\n Lindsey Graham<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued. There is a tendency to punish the victim, not the criminal. If someone broke into my house or my mum’s house, I worry that the burglar has more rights than me.<\/span>
\n Simon Cowell<\/span><\/p>\n

When I went off to the army when I was 17 years old, I believed in America and the rights of freedom. But today I believe my government is lying to the American people and that my president, George Bush, is a criminal.<\/span>

Whether or not we can save Lake Michigan, whether or not we can avoid a breakdown in our criminal justice system are more important than whether or not I’m going to be governor.<\/span>
\n Bill Scott<\/span><\/p>\n

While teaching, I also worked undercover in the lower courts by saying I was a young law teacher wanting experience in criminal law. The judges were happy to assist me but what I learned was how corrupt the lower courts were. Judges were accepting money right in the courtroom.<\/span>
\n Samuel Dash<\/span><\/p>\n

While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.<\/span>
\n Eugene V. Debs<\/span><\/p>\n

Who most benefits from keeping marijuana illegal? The greatest beneficiaries are the major criminal organizations in Mexico and elsewhere that earn billions of dollars annually from this illicit trade – and who would rapidly lose their competitive advantage if marijuana were a legal commodity.<\/span>
\n George Soros<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, for my undergrad I majored in Criminal Justice and minored in Political Science and English.<\/span>

\n Kurt Huber<\/span><\/p>\n

You might as well ask why a middle-aged man with no criminal record might put a paper bag over his head and rob a bank. I acted out of personal desperation.<\/span>
